Bane might be faster than Maul, but I can't see anything he's done that suggests he's stronger, more durable, or a better martial artist. If speed is Bane's only advantage, he loses tbh.
I've stated it repeatedly. Just because I don't want to argue Bane and Maul with ILS doesn't mean I'm conceding my opinion.
He did it with no formal force or fighting training, he had decades of martial training afterwards. Bane's more powerful and faster and arguably has the strength and size edge. He'll have greater senses, reflexes and precog on top of his speed, backed up by his own talents Maul won't have a chance to outskill him. It's not like Maul would beat Sidious, despite the latter being far less of a martial artist and physically inferior. The Force is the greater factor.
Didn't Bane physically evade attempts from the Jedi to impale him on the head while he was covered with orbalisks? I presume that orbalisks slowed him down in-fact.
Book of Sith: Secrets from the Dark Side provides useful information about Bane's understanding of martial aspects of combat. Based on revelations in this book, he should not be underestimated.
While Darth Maul is physically very strong and capable [thanks for sharing useful information], I don't think that he is holistically better then Darth Bane.
TBH, Bane is regarded as one of the most powerful Sith in galactic history. I notice baseless lowballing of him in various threads these days.
As good as Maul is, if it ever comes down to a clash between him and Bane in an all-out scenario, I don't think Maul can handle him. Based on hype factor alone, Bane have advantage.

You yourself suggested it was a lopsided fight. And you'd be right, if there's no augmentation. Mauls an extensively trained martial artist and Banes a streetbrawler. It's a dumb thread, especially when theres a legit discussion with augmentation and none without.
Rolleyes at your tired jabs though. Can you please just retire that shit?
